A condensed sans with a tall, compact rhythm and strongly squared, rounded-corner construction. Strokes are consistently heavy and even, with terminals cut cleanly and counters kept narrow, creating dense, poster-like word shapes. Curves resolve into superelliptical rectangles rather than circles, and many joins feel engineered and modular. Lowercase forms are simple and vertical, with tight apertures and minimal modulation, while numerals follow the same blocky, rounded-rectangle logic for a unified texture.
Best suited to headlines, posters, and short bursts of copy where its condensed width and heavy presence help fit more characters into limited space. It can work well for signage, packaging panels, event graphics, and bold branding systems that want a structured, industrial voice. Use with generous tracking and ample size when clarity is critical.
The tone is bold and no-nonsense, with a compressed, display-forward energy. Its rounded-rect geometry evokes industrial labeling, retro sci‑fi titling, and utility signage, reading as confident and slightly mechanized rather than friendly or calligraphic.
The design appears intended as a compact, high-impact display sans built from rounded-rectangle forms, prioritizing strong silhouettes and consistent modular geometry over open, text-optimized counters. It aims to deliver a sturdy, engineered look that remains cohesive across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals.
At text sizes the heavy strokes and tight counters can reduce internal clarity, but at larger sizes the consistent geometry produces a strong, uniform “wall of type” effect. The overall silhouette stays clean and orderly, emphasizing verticality and compact spacing.
